The WHIG's Exaltation;
A Pleasant New SONG of 82.
To an Old Tune of 41.
[...]
Now Now the Tories all shall stoop, Religion and the Laws, and Whigs on Commonwealth
[...]
Get up to Tap the Good Old Cause; Tantivy-Boys shall all go down, And haughty Monarchy;
[...]
The Leathern Cap shall brave the Throne; Then Hey Boys up go We.
[2]
When once that
Anti christian Crew
Are crush'd, and Overthrown,
We'l teach the
Nobles how to bow,
And keep their
Gentry down;
Good Manners has a bad Repute,
And tends to Pride we see;
We'l therefore cry all Breeding down,
And Hey Boys up go We.
[3]
The Name of
Lord shall be Abhor'd,
For ev'ry Man's a
Brother;
What Reason then in
Church or
State
One Man should Rule another?
Thus having Pill'd and Plunder'd all,
And Level'd each Degree,
We'l make their plump young Daughters fall,
And Hey Boys up go We.
[4]
What though the KING and
Parliament
Cannot accord together,
We have good Cause to be Content,
This is Our Sun-shine Weather;
For if good
Reason should take place,
And they should both agree,
'Dzowns who'd be in a
Round-heads Case,
For Hey then up go We?
[5]
We'l down with all the
Versities
Where
Learning is Profest;
For they still Practice, and Maintain
The
Language of the Beast;
We'l Exercise in every Grove,
And Preach beneath a Tree;
We'l make a
Pulpit of a
Tub,
Then Hey Boys up go We.
[6]
The
Whigs shall Rule
Committee Chair,
Who will such
Laws Invent,
As shall Exclude the
Lawful Heir
By
Act of Parliament:
We'l cut His
Royal Highness down,
E'en shorter by the
Knee,
That He shall never reach the
Throne,
Then Hey Boys up go We.
[7]
We'l Smite the
Idol in
Guild-Hall,
And Then (as we were wont,)
We'l cry it was a
Popish Plot,
And Swear those Rogues have don't;
His
Royal Highness to Unthrown
Our Interest will be,
For if He e're Enjoy His own,
Then Hey Boys up go We.
[8]
We'l break the Windows which the Whore
Of
Babylon has Painted;
And when their
Bishops are pull'd down,
Our
Elders shall be
Sainted:
Thus having quite Enslav'd the
Throne,
Pretending to set Free,
At last the
Gallows claims its own,
Then Hey Boys up go We.
